Hey guys i have recently got tired of trying to game on a crappy computer and would like to find a good budget build between $700 and $800. I have got my mind on a graphics card i was thinking about the gtx 660 sc 2gb. im not too sure so just give me some decent build i am going to be recording for youtube. All help is needed

That build isnt bad, could use some changes though, go for a Seasonic USA PSU or Corsair HX series PSUs.
GPU you could change to a much better 7950 for another $20.
With RAM you want to go for the Fastest speed and the quickest timings, this would be something like 1600Mhz/ 8-8-8-24.
As for the motherboard, choose an ASUS. Z77.

What I did was built my pc with a gtx 660 and then a year later when I had 200$ lying around I bought myself a second one. A single 660 can run most games at high but when you add a second you are golden and can run all current games on ultra. Rest of the build you can figure out but that saves you a hundred dollars on buying a high end graphics card.

yes and i have thought about doing that as well but could you guys give me some suggestions on parts? i would love to stay with a gtx 660 so it would be easiest if you could make one using pcpartpicker and post the link but naming parts will be just as good.
